lyrics

WELL... ME LIFE AS A SAILOR HAS BEEN A WHILE
BUT IF I GO...I’LL GO TO SHOAL
I’LL BE OUT ON THE SHELF AND YOU’LL SEE ME NEAR
SO SINK ME OFF THE SHELF PLEASE DEAR

SINK ME OFF THE SHELF PLEASE DEAR
I WANNA GO DOWN IN THE DEEP IN THE SEA
SO SINK ME OFF THE SHELF PLEASE DEAR

SINK ME OFF THE SHELF PLEASE DEAR
SINK ME OF THE SHELF PLEASE DEAR
ME LIFE AS A SAILOR HAS BEEN A WHILE
SO SINK ME OFF THE SHELF PLEASE DEAR
